POETRY. TO WILLIAM COOKE, EsQ. Oa reading his Poetical Portrait., of Celebrate 3fen,o Hail to the Great! they conic at last Right pleasantly before us;— Look !—as each speaking verse is pass'd, Reality comes o'er us! In south, they're done most hold and free, Yet usark'd with strict fidelity. LAWRENCF,, away! no need thy touch To make our Portraits fine ; Henceforth we'll have them done in such Poeticals as thine! So hold, so living, and so free, Ar.d yet exact fidelity! The silople GOLMMITif took pen Arid wade, of those he priz'd, A sort of etching: Ah ! those men Were but epiton;iz'd. Thine are whole-lengths---rich, bald, and free, Yet all exact fidelity ! Go on—'tis pity thou shonid'st stop Thy harp's pictorial tones; Can'st thou not raise thy pen, and drop Our well-known living ones ? Ah use ! that were a task for thee Too mean, too wicked, bold, and free, To face thy pine fidelity! BEPPO.t *ride CONVERSATION, an admired Didactic Poem, of which repeated notice was taken in this Paper, under our de partment of LITE HMV( REview. 1- We lately inserted souse Stanzas from this Author, en titled Dauarts, which found their way, through the medium of THE SUN, into many of the Country Journals, as well as into The Morni :g Chronicle of this day. We shall be glad of his future coutributions, as his poetry is not written in the usual Dug-trot stile, hut wears an air of ori ginality. REGISTER OF FASHION.

EDITOR,—It is a twitter of some surprize to me, that among the various abuses which daily arise and are corrected in this great Metropolis, the depredations committed on our new Coinage, either through wantot,ness, or for the purpose of answering some clandestine views, should have so long escaped the notice of the Public ; and I can only arribute their sufferance to the circum stance of the comparatively small number of de faced Coins which may pass through a single in dividual's hand being insufficient to attract at tention. " Clipping or defacing the King's Coin," deehred by the Common Law to be a criminal offence, and 1 believe it to be one of the rides of the Bank to r:fuse the exch , rige of all Coins which asayappeat to have been wilfully defaced ; hut, as on the one hand the cha►►ce of detection and prosecution is so re►n,ote that the dread of punishment loses its weight, so on the other hand the rule is too little known to check their circulation by the fear of losing their value. Would it not therefore be a convenience to the country, and a total preventive of the crime, if the Bank were to issue a public and formal notice, stating, that no cut or defaced Coins would be received in payment or exchanged ? CIVIS. 1 SINGULAR SEIZURE.-011 Tuesday evening last, a woman went into the house of Mr. Armstrong, Publican, in Abb e y- street, an d called for a pint of porter. She remained for a considerable time without any par ticular notice being taken of her, when a fellow, an accomplice, was observed coming in and beckoning to the woman to depart. In a very short period after they left the house, two Gen tlemen entered, who announced themselves to be Revenue Officers, and proceeded to the spot where the woman had deposited a cask, which, on exa mination, turned out to contain some imitation tea at the top, and ashes and other rubbish at the bottom. What could have been their ob ject in bringing the cask there, is almost inex plicable ; but a very natural suspicion arises, that ehe and her accomplice were employed by some of those persons who have been ac cused and detected in dealing in that detest able and poisonous traffic, spurious tea, &c. as if to throw a doubt on their guilt, and to insinuate that such practices might have been used towards themselves to ensnare them, and have them pu nished for being in possession of what they were not aware of. Happy intelligence for millions of our unhappy population, if there were no stronger grounds of their guilt, than the conveving, unknown to the accused, a cask of such stuff as we have particularised into their houses by such wretches. But the contrary has been proved to be the fact, and the consequences have been dreadful indeed.--(Dublin Paper.) THE THEATRE. DRURY-LANE.—Selclorn has any Actress exerted tier taients, within so short a period, in so many different characters as Mrs. WEST, and seldom, indeed, has any Actress displayed such striking and appropriate merits as have marked the whole of her performances. Last night this interesting Lady appeared in the character of Imogine (we wish it had rather been the Imager/ of our great dramatic Bard), in the Tragedy of Bertram. This Tragedy is written in the new mode, and heartily do we wish that it never may become the common fashion of the Stage. Indeed we may say with the Poet, " Such laliour'd nothings, in so strange a style, " /invite th' unlearn'd, and make the learned smile." Bombast is the real characteristic of this drama, with a few nnturat sprinklings, apparently intend ed to enable the Performers to give effect to par ticular passages —A diurnal Sage, whose criti cism., are generally in prose what this Tragedy is in blank verse, seems to consider it as better adapted for perusal in the Closet tha n the Stag e . We entirely agree with him in this opinion, and conceive (bat when read in the Closet, it may work a 'Jannel and proper effect. Such as the part of Imagine is, it received, in all its tenderness, agony, and horror, the full advantage of admirable act ing, and came home to the feelings of the audi ence. The peculiar style of Mr. KEAN'S acting requires peculiarity in the parts which he assumes, and therefore his Bertram may perhaps be ranked among the very best of his extraordinary achieve ments. In many passages he made a strong im pression, and in the whole of this frantic, savage, and distorted caricature of human nature, we presume that he exactly fulfilled the wishes of the Author.—We arc always glad to see a numer ous audience at this Theatre, not only on ac count of its pecuniary situation, but because the present Management is certainly marked by zeal, diligence, and a desire of gratifying the Public by novelty, as well as by the revival of those sterling dramas that were admired by our ancestors. MR. MATHEWS. THE MENDICITY ASSO(3 ITION. In The Dublin Journal of last night, a blunder ing attempt is made to rescue the Mendicity So ciety and Mr. Connor from the charge of injustice and misrepresentation, so firmly fixed on them, in the affair between them and Mr. Mathews. Indeed, it is so truly ridiculous, and carries with it its own condemnation so generally, that we shall only notice one or two of its follies. It sets out by saying, that Mr. Mathews " has chosen to obtrude himself on public notice, in a manner very extraordinary." Now the contrary is the fact :—he did not obtrude himself on the Public, but the Mendicity Association and Mr. Connor (frogged Mr. Mathews bef,re the Public, in a very unjustifiable, and in a very cruel manner—for when they did place him before the Public, they made a shamefully ex-parte statement. It now appears by the showing, and we are inclined to thinic, the unintentional showing of The Dublin Journal, that the Association required Mr. Mathews to perform for them in the course of the present week, which would have taken from hirn,not only the profits of a Night, in the best period of his career, but have greatly iniured the Night preceding and the night atter, by which he would lose, perhaps, at least two hundred pounds. This vas the mo dest request, and not a night at the close of his season, as stated by Mr. Connor, who in reference to The Dublin Journal, may now well exclaim—Oh, save me front my friends (Dublin E v eni ng P os t, N ov. 7.) It has been erroneously stated, that the family nt the late moch-lainented Sir SAMUEL ito- MI!..LY consisted of one son and five daughters. He has left one daughter and six sons; the eldest is a student at Trinity College, Cambridge, and three were at Durham-house Academy, Chelsea, but are at present with Lord HOLLAND, at Ken sington. On Wednesday morning last, the re mains of the Lady of . Sir S. ROMJLLY arrived at the Bell Hotel, Gloucester, on their way to Here fordshire. The plate on the coffin merely states her name to he ANN, her age 4-1 ; that she was consort to Sir SAMUEL, and gives the time of her death. The following morning, at six o'clock, the hearse set off again for the family tomb. At the Commission of Oyer and Terminer in Dublin, on Saturday week, the Court, after wait ing a considerable time, sent to inquire it the County Grand July had found any of their Bills, The Sheriff, on his return, informed their Lord ships, that the Jury had gone away an hour be fore, and had taken the Bills of Indictment with them. The Court ordered their names to be called over, and fined each of them ten pounds. A quarter of a mile race took place early yes terday morning in St. James's Park, between Mr. Howe, the celebrated runner, and Lieut. Giles, which was WON by the latter in one minute and one second. The race was very closely contest ed, and Mr. Howe lost it by about two yards. Many bets were depending, considering the march was only made the preceding evening. Last night, about nine o'clock, another dread ful fire broke out at the house of Mr. George, butcher, Ratcliffe Highway, and opposite the house in which Mr. Bonnar and his child so recently fell a sacrifice to the flames. IVe regret to say that Mr. George lost a fine child, abz:rt three years old, which was burnt to death. 'rite child had been put to bed shortly before the fire broke out, and such was the violence of the flames as to render all attempts to save it useless. The remains of the child were found in the ruins about two hours alter. SWINDLING AND ROBBERY.—A young man about 5 feet 5 inches high, fair complexion, mild in speaking, and of genteel appearance, has been swindling different hotels, under the assumed name of the Honourable Lieutenant Gordon, R.N. and others, and taking different property from them. Yesterday he obtained change and goods to the amount of 201. from a tradesman who attended him at the New Hummums, Covent-garden, and delivered the change for a 201. note,>S•ith which the swindler connived to make his escape. At some hotels he has gone under the name of Pennell, CORONERS' INQUESTS. AFFECTING SUICIDE. YeEterday afternoon an Inquest was held at the Duke of Argyle public-house, G:eat Wind mill -street, Saint James's, on the body of Sarah Pearce, aged 22, who came to her death under the following melancholy circumstances : Mr. James Pearce, of No. 2S. Great Windmill ' street, stated, that the deceased was his daughter, and lodged at a friend's house opposite his own. She was addressed by a young man named John Hill, who is a harness-maker, working at the corner of Shepherd-street and Oxford -street, and who lodged in wit ness's house. On Sunday three weeks, he told her that he was going to Saint Ann's church, to publish the banns for their marriage. She sent a female friend to the Church to ascertain the fact, and the fol lowing Sunday went herself, but found that her name was not called. She returned home quite melancholy, and was observed to he in a state f dejection from that day till the hour of her un timely death.' On Sunday last the deceased was with witness and her mother all the day ; about the afternoon, Hill carne borne, bringing with him a young woman, whom he desired his !and lady to tell the deceased was his intended wife ; and as a further insult to the poor girl, he kept the female to tea, during which the deceased was in a state bordering on frenzy ; wit ness detained her at his house till near of e o'clock in the morning, trying to soothe her, but to no effect. Next morning Mr 3. Jones,with whom the deceased lodged, came to witness, and said she feared something had happened, as she could not make her bear when she called her. Witness, full of terror, ran over ; the door was locked ; he forced it open, and instantly ran to the bed ; no one was there, nor had it the appearance of having been slept in. Thinking that she had wandered out, he was about to retrace his steps, but as he turned round was horror struck t o se e her hanging by a silk handkerchief from a railing against the cupboard. Snatching up a knit'e that lay on the table, he cur the body down, and then ran into tie street, not knowing what he did. Mr. E. Dixon, of Na. 66, Wardour-street, sur geon, stated, that about ten o'clock on Monday morning he was called to see the deceased. There was a deep mark round the neck ; the tongue pro. traded and was much swoln. The body was quite cold, and she was dead some hours ; conserpient ly he did not attempt to administer any remedies. She had all the appearances of a person strangled. Mr. Jones, of No. 26, Windmill -street, with whom the deceased lodged, deposed, that she worked at shoe-binding, and that an Monday morning some work was sent to her from Mr. Puzey's, in Piccadilly. Witness went to call her, but received no answer.—(This witness here con firmed the evidence of Mr. Pearce.)—She was a modest, prudent, good-natured girl, and much respected ; but lately her conduct has been that of a lunatic. On being asked by the Jury to give his opinion as to the cause of I,er melancholy, Mr. Jones said, " I have no doubt but that rascal of a fel low (Bill) deceived her." The Coroner briefly summed up the evidence; and the Jury, through the medium of Mr. Sa• wage, their Foreman, returned the following ver dict :—" The deceased hanged herself in a fit of insanity, produced, in the opinion of the Jury, by the culpable, and they add, criminal conduct of John Hill." SUDDEN DBATHS.—An Inquisition was taken yesterday at the Mitre Tavern, near Islington Church, before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. Coro ner, upon the body of Mr. Henry Gottchalk, aged 23 years. a Gt-ntleman of most resp , etahle connections, belonging to a mercantile house in the cite.--It appeared in evidence, that the deceased ordered his horse on Sunday afternoon, and went into the riding-house to take a ride, when he dropped down in a fit of apoplexy. Verdict— " Died by the visitation o f God." Yesturclay all inquest was taken at the F ,, x and Knot public-house, Snow-hill, on the bo►iy of Mary Ann Hilly, who was found in a fit, and ex pired immediately after. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." MURDER IN HERTFORDSHIRE. The following particulars of the horrid murder of John Cooper, on his way from London to Hertford, have been transmitted from unques tionable authority ;—The murder was committed within twenty yards of the town of Broxborrte, about nine o'clock in the evening, and the body was discovered in a few minutes after wards, by the leaders of the Boston coach starting at the body of the poor man, :vhich was lying across the road. His head was beaten in by a hammer, or some other instrument, and drove the bones of the skull into the brain nearly an inch, so that he instantly died ; his pockets were turned inside out, and the horse and cart did not stop at all, but went on as if attended by a driver. His body was quite warm when found. It is conjectured that the murderers left him in the road with a view to his being run over by the coaches, as the night was very dark, and that his death might be attributed to accident. It was at first thought he had been shot through the bead, but that impression was completely removed by the testimony of the. surgeon at the inquest. He was a native of Chts terford, Cambridgeshire, near Newmarket, and had travelled the road for up:Yards of forty years as a carrier, on his own account ; but he was not a dealer in fruit. He was well known in various parts of London, hut more particularly about Newgate-market, where a most daring attack and robbery svas committed upon him about three weeks ago by two fellows, whilst he was harnessing his horse, Wtlo robbed him of 131. There is little doobt in the country hot these were the murderers, who followed him from London, and perpetrated the dreadful deed. He was 71 years of age. The police-officers were in formed that two men, dressed in smock frocks, had been seen going down the road, but they did not go into any boast-, and were completely strangers. The deceased man bad been riding in the cart a short distance behind them, towards the close of the evening. Not the least suspicion at present attaches to any person in the neighbour hood where the murder was committed.
